Degenerative disc disease, or DDD, results from the gradual breakdown of spinal discs, which lose their cushioning ability over time. This process can cause persistent back pain, stiffness, and discomfort, often due to pressure on nearby nerves as discs shrink and dry out.
Chiropractic care provides a gentle, drug-free approach to managing DDD by focusing on reducing nerve irritation and enhancing spinal function. Through precise adjustments, chiropractors work to align the spine, relieving pressure on affected areas and promoting a smoother range of motion.
These treatments are often combined with strengthening exercises and lifestyle guidance to help support spinal health and reduce strain. By addressing the root mechanics of DDD, chiropractic care aims to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility without invasive procedures, offering patients a natural path to managing symptoms and improving their quality of life.
